Not clear yet what the concrete benefits are, but it’s worth noting #OpenStreetMap has been registered as a “Digital Public Good” by the Digital Public Goods Alliance (#DPGA), which is a multi-stakeholder United Nations-endorsed initiative.

#OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM is @joost_schouppe.

If the name sounds familiar to you, it might be for many reasons. It could be for his past involvement as OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper.

Read the interview at https://openstreetmap.be/en/motm/2023/08/01/joost-schouppe.html.

Interesting paper from #MDPI about “Mapping with #ChatGPT” concludes it delivers unique advantages, such as:
- lowering the barrier to producing maps
- boosting the efficiency of massive map production
- and understanding geographical space with its spatial thinking capability.

Limitations cited are:
- its unequal benefits for different users (need to have some expertise already)
- and necessary user intervention for quality control.
